Why Stratasys Stock Is Getting Hammered Tuesday Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS) reported third-quarter 2016 results Tuesday before markets opened. The 3D printer maker posted adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of zero on revenues of $157.2 million. In the second quarter of 2015, the company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.01 and revenues of $167.6 million. Analysts had consensus estimates for EPS of $0.05 and revenues of $174.54 million. Needless to say, shares are taking something of a beating based on these numbers. Worse, though, is Stratasys’s guidance for the full 2016 fiscal year. 247wallst.com
